# Stealth Plane Chronographs The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom is Strikingly Masculine By Meghan Young | Published 2012-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br-01-carbon-fiber-phantom References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/01/bell-ross-aviation-carbon-fiber-phantom-collection/) & [bellross](http://www.bellross.com/) The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch is inspired by the B-117 stealth fighter planes of the same name. There is a tweak with this particular edition, however. It features the fiber-reinforced polymer that is most often associated with race cars. Unlike its BR 01 Phantom predecessor, this design has much more going on. Nevertheless, it is still strikingly masculine. Designed by [Bell & Ross](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brx3), the BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch is part of their Aviation collection. This luxurious chronograph boasts 100 meter water resistance, a screw-down crown, photo-luminescent hands, sapphire crystal glass and, of course, automatic Swiss mechanical movement. The use of [carbon fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-x-revolution-chronomaster-revival-a3818) may not be new for this chronograph company, but the BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch uses it much more extensively than any of its brothers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Carbon Fiber Watches:** The extensive use of carbon fiber in the BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the watch industry. - **Stealth-inspired Designs:** The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch, inspired by stealth fighter planes, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the fashion and accessories industry. - **Luxury Chronographs:** The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch, with its luxurious features and design, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the luxury goods industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Watch:** The extensive use of carbon fiber in the BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the watch industry. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch, inspired by stealth fighter planes, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the fashion and accessories industry. - **Luxury Goods:** The BR 01 Carbon Fiber Phantom watch, with its luxurious features and design, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the luxury goods industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Square Case Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brx3.md) - [Elite Aviation Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-chrono-rafale-solo-display.md) - [Dazzling Mirrored Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br05-grey-mirror-steel.md) - [Haute Black Ceramic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br-05-black-ceramic.md) - [Fashionable Carbon Fiber Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-bang-tourbillon-carbon-sra.md) - [Futuristic Iridescent Timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brx5-iridescent.md) - [Industrial Skeletal Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-skeleton.md) - [Stealthy Forged Carbon Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissot-prx-40-forged-carbon.md) - [Carbon-Fiber Character Watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kremlin.md)
